Dr Kang was born in the Kim Hae rice fields in Korea and finished
his elementary- and middle-school education in Kim Hae. For his high
school education he moved to Busan, which is the 2nd largest city in Korea.
His mother (a single parent), who had been given the gift of education
at a time when Korean women were not supposed to learn to read,
persuaded him that knowledge is the key to a good life.
He came to America in 1981, traveled from New York to Mississippi
in search of educational opportunities in the U.S., and finally settled
in L.A. because its mild climate enabled him to reduce his living
expenses to a bare minimum.
He began his studies at L.A. City College while working part-time,
and then transferred to USC. There he majored in Linguistics and
obtained a B. A. degree, then pursued graduate studies in TESL for
which he received an M.S. degree. He received a doctorate in Education
from USC in 2003. For his achievements Dr. Kang was spotlighted as an
American success story on pp. 30-31 of the University of Southern California
1996 Year Book.
